[WikiEN-l] Verifiability and Africa

[Nicholas Moreau]

Africa was brought up in discussion of verifiability. This raises an  important question, should/can we be lax references for African content  in en?
  
  Suppose a tribes' elder writes an article on his village, he'll do it  based on oral history, or one-off documents. This information may be  recorded in books, but these books are stashed away in libraries miles  upon miles away.
  
  What happens then? It's true information, but there's little or no available sources for the writer to cite.
